Case Study: The Entrepreneur’s Dilemma
The Problem
An entrepreneur needed help understanding how an accounting change might affect a pending merger and his company’s capital structure, as well as the potential impact on his investors. With limited resources available, hiring a law firm or accountant was not an attractive option.
Critical Issues
Limited Budget Specific Experience
The Solution
Maven screened a group of finance professionals for experience with the scenario described by the entrepreneur. Less than a day later, the customer was on the phone with the Chief Financial Officer of another startup company that had been involved in a nearly identical situation less than six months before. After a short conversation, he understood the impact the change would have on his company and decided on the best way to proceed.
“I had a terrific session with the Maven. With a 45 minute consultation, she saved me hours of billable time with a traditional accounting firm.”
